Missed part of this thread, but it seems this is about the same Mikroe =20 analog dev board. Won't this work with +/-9V? I'd be surprised if it =20 didn't and a quick email to Mikroe should validate this. Then you =20 should be able to use two 9V batteries in series with the midpoint as =20 ground. At least for a start. Mikroe may also have a solution for =20 this already. Cheers, -Neil.
